Re: swapping baseplates

for TS, how would an RTS hanger work on a dart/sixtrack baseplate, provided i swap out the kingpin with a grade8? the thing i like with the dart plate is the cast-in bushing seat, as opposed to the flat washer that comes on the RTS. also, what is the advantage of having the washer instead of a cast...

finding a good spot

well, i got this little problem...namely, i don't know how to find/set up a good slalom spot. there's a parking garage nearby, which would be excellent for a TS setup, except for the fact that it's patrolled by cops all the time. also, there's a park with a one-way street running through it that wou...
